Network slicing is an end-to-end concept that encompasses network functions, radio accesses, and clouds for enabling customized information-centric Internet-of-Things (IoT) services. The key idea is to virtualize all the resources from radio accesses to IoT service layers, so that IoT service providers can automate resource provisioning and management for users. ...

A flowers of sulfur (FoS) corrosion test chamber has been developed by the iNEMI taskforce on creep corrosion on printed circuit boards (PCBs). Besides testing for creep corrosion, the FoS chamber has the potential of replacing the mixed-flowing gas (MFG) chamber as an industry-standard, general-purpose corrosion chamber for testing a ...

In 2015, the International Electronics Manufacturing Initiative (iNEMI) initiated the Bismuth-Tin (Bi-Sn) based Low-Temperature Soldering Process and Reliability (LTSPR) Project. The goal of this project was to address the challenge of evaluating new formulations from multiple suppliers of low temperature melting solder pastes incorporating Bi-Sn solder metallurgy. These new formulations ...

To be cost-effective and energy-efficient, massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) arrays must be constructed from radio elements with low power and high linearity, but can tolerate higher noise than conventional stand-alone radios. This letter presents a low-power 0.25-1.7-GHz power- and resolution-scalable mixer-first receiver tailored for variable-element massive MIMO systems with digital ...

For several years, cloud computing has been increasingly appearing in the global IT market, both in corporate infrastructure and among private users. In medium and large companies, they replace the current, not very flexible, poorly scalable and often expensive computer infrastructure, and in the case of small businesses, startups and ...

Fiber-optic transmission systems provide large capacities over enormous distance but are vulnerable to simple eavesdropping attacks at the physical layer. We classify key-based and keyless encryption and physical layer security techniques and discuss them in the context of optical multiple-input-multiple-output space-division multiplexed (MIMO-SDM) fiber-optic communication systems. We show that MIMO-SDM ...

Using monitored physical parameters in a learning process, we decrease design margins by reducing uncertainties on the input parameters of a Quality of Transmission (QoT) tool, improving the accuracy of the signal-to-noise ratio prediction.

In this work, we revisit the duality of treating interference as noise (TIN) from the generalized degrees-of- freedom (GDoF) perspective. Specifically, in a general K-user interference channel where interference is treated as Gaussian noise, we demonstrate that for any given GDoF tuple and its power allocation, how to derive a ...

This paper reports for the first time, the dielectric characterization of a new, electronically tuneable electrochromic (EC) thin-film material over the frequency range 1-67 GHz, at temperatures of 7 °C, 23 °C, and 50 °C. Test cells composed of a microstrip line terminated with coplanar waveguide (CPW) transitions were fabricated ...

This paper presents an integrated study of dynamic control format indicator impact on downlink throughput in Long Term Evolution (LTE) network based on number of users and configured system bandwidth. CFI (Control Format Indicator) is an indicator notifying number of OFDM symbols used for carrying PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) ...

In this paper we introduce a new family of low-profile and high quality factor distributed resonators, termed concentric distributed resonators. The study of the proposed resonators commences by the investigation of its key parameters, such as frequency of operation, quality factor and maximum electric fields as a function of the ...

Enhancing power efficiency and bandwidth of RF power amplifiers (PAs) is always a challenge for future mobile basestation transceivers. Static and especially dynamic nonlinear effects are mainly responsible for decreasing before mentioned parameters. Static effects can be usually characterized by measuring the PA output with a defined input signal. Fast ...

We present a viability analysis of a content preparation scheme used to smartly distribute mono-and stereoscopic 360VR video using the MPEG-DASH paradigm. Several configurations in which the portion of the scene that is located at the opposite side of the viewport is set to black have been studied. The main ...

In this article, we propose a simple method to monitor the end-to-end live lag in a way which is scalable and meaningful for the service providers. The proposal is based on detecting the wall-clock timestamp of the video frames at capture time and inserting it in-band, so that it is ...

Linear programming approaches have been applied to derive upper bounds on the size of classical and quantum codes. In this paper, we derive similar results for general quantum codes with entanglement assistance by considering a type of split weight enumerator. After deriving the MacWilliams identities for these enumerators, we are ...

We report on the multiplexing of 12 spatial channels and 120 wavelength channels in the C-band, each carrying 16-QAM symbols at 30 Gbaud over graded-index few-mode fiber. A combination of multiple fiber spools with positive and negative modal dispersion values are exploited to form a 59 km link with 0.35 ...

In this paper, we review in detail experimental demonstrations of Kramers-Kronig (KK) based direct detection systems with high per-carrier interface rates, high spectral efficiencies, and ~100-km reach. Two realizations of KK based receivers are demonstrated, including single-polarization and dual-polarization versions. Critical aspects of the KK receiver such as the carrier-to-signal ...

The spectral efficiency (SE) of cellular networks can be improved by the unprecedented array gain and spatial multiplexing offered by Massive MIMO. Since its inception, the coherent interference caused by pilot contamination has been believed to create a finite SE limit, as the number of antennas goes to infinity. In ...
